As a faith school, we aim to instill Christian values within our school. Each half term we promote one of these values.

Archbishop Rowan Williams Church in Wales Primary School is a busy but friendly school, with lots going on. As a Voluntary Aided School, we are supported by both the Local Authority and the Church. We have excellent well-established links with Caldicot School, and our village nurseries Bluebelles and Cupcakes and Dinosaurs, along with many local nurseries. We feel very proud and privileged to have such a talented team of staff, dedicated to providing nurture, care, support, and excellent provision to the children and their families. “Values For Life” are at the heart of our excellent teaching and learning experiences. We offer an “open door” policy where we welcome families to engage with the school, recognizing that by working together we can help each child to build a happy, healthy, and successful future. Archbishop Rowan Williams Primary School was founded in 2001. Archbishop Rowan Williams is a Voluntary Aided School. This means that, although it is maintained by the Local Education Authority, the Church (through Monmouth Diocesan Council of Education) has considerable financial and administrative responsibilities. The School aims to provide an education that is Christian in both principle and practice and accordance with the teaching of the Anglican Church. While the teaching of religion is according to the tenets of the Church-In– Wales, as you would expect, there is no atmosphere of indoctrination in the school. Each morning there is an act of collective worship, which is shared at times throughout the week, with parents and local clergy. Christian values are built into the Ethos and teaching. It is difficult to explain the ‘ethos’ of a school, but easy to feel it. View full school

Archbishop Tenison’s has a great history, one that goes right back to 1685. We are a small school and this means that we can offer the very best in pastoral and academic support. We try to ensure that a family atmosphere exists and that all students are known by staff. Our commitment is to provide all our young people with the best educational experience irrespective of starting points. Our focus is to enable them to understand that education is key in our changing world of work, and we teach that our core values of Compassion, Hard Work, Accountability, Respect, and Trust (CHART) are essential values for all successful relationships. Our vision is that “Together we aim for excellence, together we achieve and together we succeed”. We aim to be the school of choice for local families. We are committed to providing both the best pastoral care and the highest academic rigor for our students and seek to ensure that all of them leave the school with the best possible skills and qualifications. This is our fifth successive year with all our leavers now in education, employment, or training. Many of our recent students are now attending prestigious universities such as Warwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Camberwell School of Art. We are committed to raising standards and enabling all students to make rapid progress. We are confident that, with some excellent new staff, we will see attainment and rates of progress rise. The combination of academic success and excellent pastoral care allows all students to thrive and enables them to become independent young people. We are determined to follow through with our vision of excellence, achievement, and success. We will be relentless in ensuring that there are no gaps in our attainment and that no student is left behind. The systems and structures in the school have been reviewed and how we do things has been changed. There is significant support for the school both from the Local Authority and the Southwark Diocese. Archbishop Tension will become part of the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education Multi-Academy Trust and will convert to an academy by September 2018. The School has continued to provide a high-quality education for boys ages 11–19, with girls being admitted in the sixth form. The School’s first home was in Trafalgar Square on the grounds of the National Gallery. The School moved to its present location opposite the Oval cricket ground in 1928. Paintings of Thomas Tenison, Archbishop of Canterbury currently hang in the National Portrait Gallery, and to this day the school still retains its historic links with both Canterbury and St. Martins-in-the-Fields.

The Archbishop Mitty High School community is founded upon the belief that God creates every student "in the image and likeness of God" (Genesis 1:26). Based on this belief, the School encourages every student to personally carry on God's creative act by developing his or her talents and abilities to the fullest. At the same time, the School challenges each student to create a world in the image and likeness of God, a world founded on the Gospel values of gentleness, compassion, justice, mercy, and peace. Archbishop Mitty High School is the Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school of the Diocese of San Jose. The School embraces the Catholic educational mission of developing community, teaching the message of the Gospels, and promoting service, peace, and justice. Through its rigorous academic program, the School prepares students for college and responsible leadership in a global society. At the same time, the School works diligently alongside parents to foster each student's personal, academic, and spiritual development. Recognizing that each individual is created in God's image and likeness, the School celebrates and affirms its diverse cultural community while developing students who are intellectually competent, just, faith-filled, respectful leaders. The whole person's education is critical to the development of young adults, and Archbishop Mitty embraces this through a rigorous and dynamic academic curriculum that seeks to gradually develop "students' intellectual, physical, psychological, moral, and religious capacities." Across the curriculum, students are challenged to think critically and analytically, seeking truth in the abundance of information and assumptions that dominate modern life. Contemporary society is "an information-driven society which bombards [students] indiscriminately with data—all treated as being of equal importance—and which leads to remarkable superficiality in the area of moral discernment. In response, we need to provide an education which teaches critical thinking and encourages the development of mature moral values" (Pope Francis). A conscious effort is given to guide students to become young adults who understand the moral complexity of the world and understand how this recognition of truth can lead to positive action beyond Archbishop Mitty. Recognizing that the world is continually changing, Archbishop Mitty educators strive to be "guided by a changing generation and know that, therefore, every educator…is required to change, in the sense of knowing how to communicate with the young." As an institution that encourages a culture of innovation, the School's curriculum is continually evolving, designed to reflect students' skills and knowledge to achieve success and supported by current technologies that are viewed as tools to enhance student learning. A concentrated effort is put on developing a macro and micro worldview, preparing for a global world includes a focus on the application of Catholic values to action by encouraging students to not wait for others to take the lead, but to be leaders themselves. The co-curricular program at Archbishop Mitty provides a wealth of opportunities for students to develop themselves further, emphasizing empowering and challenging them to succeed in whatever arena they choose. The success of each Archbishop Mitty student is dependent upon the partnership between the School and the parents. Recognizing that parents are the students' primary educators, Archbishop Mitty seeks to "work as a team for the school's common good." This team concept assists the students in their intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development. A critical component of this being exceptional care for student wellness the School's faculty, staff, and administration. To best support student success, the School has created a sense of community at Archbishop Mitty that is palpable. Students are encouraged to try new things, and disappointments are handled with dignity and respect. Students at Archbishop Mitty can be themselves, and the spirit of acceptance permeates beyond the physical building. The environment is Catholic, one that is illuminated by "the light of faith…and the Christian way of thought and life…permeates all facets of the educational climate" (Religious Dimension). As a Catholic institution, we seek to embrace "the synthesis between culture and faith" and "to interweave reason and faith" to develop "a Christian view of the world, of life, culture, and history" (Miller). Recognizing that there is no separation between learning and formation, we seek to teach academic subjects and empathy and compassion for others by understanding Gospel values. Because Archbishop Mitty's community includes individuals of other faith traditions, students come to understand faith in a world context, which allows students to draw parallels and understand that faith is an aspect of the education of the whole person. Archbishop Mitty seeks to educate young adults to become intellectually curious, just, faith-filled, and respectful leaders. This is achieved through the recognition that each person is made in the image and likeness of God, and through a comprehensive educational program that seeks to educate the whole person in a welcoming environment that embraces the synthesis of faith and reason, the formation of Catholic values, and the preparation of students for a global society.
